Airport Question

Does anyone know if you can shop at any of the stores at MBJ airport when you first arrive? Specifically the liquor store and the store that sells spices and coffee. Is there a limit on how much liquor you can buy? We need about twenty of the pint sized appleton rum for welcome bags for a wedding. Thanks!

I don't think you can because you need a valid boarding pass to make your way back through Security to that part of the airport. If you go to the Couples Lounge when you land and ask them they may be able to work something out to get you what you want, but I would not be surprised if you could not get back there yourself due to the security setup.
There are places you can buy things on the way to, or near, your Couples resort though.

was at CSS 2 weeks ago and they have the pints in the gifts shop and they were around 6.95 want to say. they had a few different things. reg. rum, and rum cream and one other one... can't remember the name,

Also a thought -- it might not come FROM jamaica, but you can duty free shop at your depature airport. Most of the airport duty free have the same type of merchandise. I haven't specifically looked for Appletons, though.

I question why you would want to get appletons at the airport, it is only a smidge cheaper ($2 for 750ml) than buying it in the US, and then you do not have to transport it. Save your luggage space for Rum Cream.

We always go to the grocery store in Negril to get our gifts, spices, jerk rubs and alcohol before leaving. We take the shopping bus on wednesday mornings (do they still do that?) We find the prices to be less than duty free. It's almost across from the Mc Donald's if I remember correctly??
